A Practical Study of Network Latency Dynamics using Wireshark and Controlled Traffic Generation

Introduction:- Network performance analysis is essential for evaluating the efficiency and responsiveness of data transmission under varying traffic conditions. Among different performance metrics, latency is a critical parameter as it determines the time required for data to travel from source to destination, directly impacting application performance and user experience. This study focuses on analyzing latency using Wireshark, a powerful network protocol analyzer that enables packet-level inspection. Controlled traffic conditions are generated using command-line tools to simulate different levels of network load. The analysis aims to observe how latency varies across these conditions and to understand its behavior under increasing traffic intensity. The insights obtained from this analysis provide a deeper understanding of network performance dynamics and highlight the importance of managing latency for efficient and reliable communication. Objectives:- The primary objective is to me...
